Panel 1:
Enid, cold as a cucumber, closes herself off from further conversation.

ENID: Thank you for your investment advice and I will see that your spur is half-built and transdimensionally navigable.

ENID: Please leave.

CAROL: Your compliance is appreciated!

Panel 2:
Same view. Carol departs in high spirits, followed by Enid’s icy stare.

CAROL: Got a feeling I’ve exciting times ahead of me too!
